ZynewaveKeymasterPodium 3.2.1 beta is available in the VIP lounge download topic.
Changelog:
– Fixed reading of plugin scan crash and quarantine logfiles.
– Added separate 32/64 bit plugin paths to app settings.
– Extended VST plugin folder detection to include “Program FilesCommon” and subfolders named either VstPlugins or VST2.
3.2.1 will be a minor update with small improvements and bug fixes. The reason I’ve made a beta available is because I’ve recently upgraded my development tools froom Visual Studio 2008 to the latest 2012 version. This shouldn’t have a negative impact on Podium performance and compatibility. My tests so far show no problems, and it seems that Windows XP support is still intact. I still would like a few confirmations from users if this new version are working ok for them (plugin scanning, playback, etc.). Please state which Windows version you have tested the beta on. Save a backup of your projects before using this beta version.

thcilnnahojParticipantBelated Happy New Year to you, Frits! 🙂
I still have an old laptop that runs Windows XP – I’ll give it a try.

upsParticipantOn my laptop with WIN 7 32bit, Podium 3.2.1 works fine.

druidParticipantYou know, and perhaps this goes without saying (and maybe makes it different enough not to count), but you could easily load Windows XP into a virtual machine with VMPlayer. Once I install Win8, I’m going to be creating VMs for Windows 98 SE (Buzz Tracker, and enough of an archive I want to lift things from 🙁 and Buzz is so unstable, more so on later Win versions), Windows XP and possibly Linux.
Or, if you have Win7 Ultimate, you can install a “free” copy (Ultimate comes with an XP licence) of XP Mode, in which sound works too.
I’m not entirely sure if ASIO4ALL works well, or at all, in these, but I don’t see why not, and I will surely be finding out later this year.
That would give you an XP environment that mimics real situations relatively closely (albeit not with the same hardware variety). Always good to test on a range of systems, and perhaps you already use VMs for this anyway..?
